hard to tell without peeking under the kabuto liner..........
but the miadate ( spelling ? ) of the deer antler design is modern.

Hi Sergio,
The russet colour of the bowl and the shikoro look reasonable, but the lining, cord, tehen kanamoto (decoration around the hole at the top) and colour of the gold on the ridges all look fake to me.
I think you can probably do better than this. Have a look at the following website:
www.toraba.com
Trevor has some good kabuto at reasonable prices.
Best regards
Justin

Hi Sergio,
If you email Trevor and let him know what you're looking for, he will keep an eye out. I know that he has has been busy writing a book about Japanese armour and has not been keeping his website up to date.
He usually has some interesting stuff lying around.
Good luck!
Justin
